The air was so thick, well you could cut with a knife,
And the night stood still
Never felt like this in all of my life
It never felt so real
I can't believe,
The way my heart melts with every beat

Blame it on the heat
It happens when we meet
Blame it on the sweet southern nights
Blame it on the heat

Baby, when we touch, uncontrollable fire,
Comes over us
Why we create such a burning desire,
Is mysterious
We go out of our minds,
As the temperature climbs by degrees

Blame it on the heat
It happens when we meet
Blame it on the sweet southern nights
Blame it on the heat
Blame it on the heat

Instrumental break

We go out of our minds,
As the temperature climbs by degrees

Blame it on the heat
It happens when we meet
Blame it on the sweet southern night
Blame it on the heat
Blame it on the heat

Blame it on the heat
